TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 31-The efforts

Eastern Illinois road at the most convenient

human industry becomes capital when it is to be

'nocommission, rebate or other dra back will be
paid for the sale of passenger tickets to any
agent, firm. broker, scalper or other person."
This decision was put forth from Commissioner
Fink's Office as Zone of the greatest reforms ever
inaugurated in the railway passenger service of
this country" but when a reporter to-day made
inquiries 10 its probable effect, of the best
known ticket-brokers, G. G. Lansing, did not hesi-

ness such AS he had built up in the last six
teen years was not. he said, to be abol-

panies had often before declared that
ehey would abolish commissions and cnt-rates to
brokers' but the result had been like that of
similar efforts in the insurance business There
were more railroads in the present movement
than in the former ones, because there were
railroads In the country; but the oStensible
unanimity was not any greater in this case than
In previous attempts of the sort. Moreover,
after April 5, when the interstate commerce law
takes effect, the strong railroad companies would
have less control over the weaker ones than
formerly, because they would lose their power

and cut-rate business was of too great benefit to
many railroad lines to be dropped in the way
